Bringing your own custom container image to Amazon SageMaker Studio notebooks

Amazon SageMaker Studio is the first fully integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning (ML). SageMaker Studio lets data scientists spin up Studio notebooks to explore data, build models, launch Amazon SageMaker training jobs, and deploy hosted endpoints. Studio notebooks come with a set of pre-built images, which consist of the Amazon SageMaker Python SDK […]

Deploying reinforcement learning in production using Ray and Amazon SageMaker

Reinforcement learning (RL) is used to automate decision-making in a variety of domains, including games, autoscaling, finance, robotics, recommendations, and supply chain. Launched at AWS re:Invent 2018, Amazon SageMaker RL helps you quickly build, train, and deploy policies learned by RL. Ray is an open-source distributed execution framework that makes it easy to scale your […]

Explaining Amazon SageMaker Autopilot models with SHAP

Machine learning (ML) models have long been considered black boxes because predictions from these models are hard to interpret. However, recently, several frameworks aiming at explaining ML models were proposed. Model interpretation can be divided into local and global explanations. A local explanation considers a single sample and answers questions like “Why does the model […]

Real-time data labeling pipeline for ML workflows using Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth

High-quality machine learning (ML) models depend on accurately labeled, high-quality training, validation, and test data. As ML and deep learning models are increasingly integrated into production environments, it’s becoming more important than ever to have customizable, real-time data labeling pipelines that can continuously receive and process unlabeled data. For example, you may want to create […]

Training and serving H2O models using Amazon SageMaker

Model training and serving steps are two essential pieces of a successful end-to-end machine learning (ML) pipeline. These two steps often require different software and hardware setups to provide the best mix for a production environment. Model training is optimized for a low-cost, feasible total run duration, scientific flexibility, and model interpretability objectives, whereas model […]
